Critical Jack is doing great. I noticed the forecast is great now for ripening, minus some light rain tonight. You will always wonder if you could have got away with pruning out mold for a couple more weeks and got more weight and ripeness...

No plans yet for next year, just selecting my best seed from the crop... Will spend the next couple months looking over things, and I'll probably get something else going in there, I'm thinking. :smoke:

ya bro we got 7 days of pure sun with no clouds. it will be perfect week coming up for the Cj. its gonna yeild very well i think from looking at how close the bud sites are stacked on top one another. i'll be trying my hand at the 3 autos that i got as freebies next year as well, if they pop. i dont think i could have saved any of mine by pruning out the mold. i cut out over a pound id say anyways. my buds was just to big and compact when the rain hit and on top that i had snails and cats fkn my buds up. that 1 week stretch of weather couldnt have come at a worse time. im gonna try to remedy that next year though with a few more early flowering strains like dinafem blue widow,blue cheese and the Incredible bulk and also a few longer flowering strains such as the Kali mist and Malawi. Dinafem is hooking me up with a 5 pack of blue cheese and Moby dick for a journal and i also won a bingo drawing on another site and got a 50$ voucher from Paradise so im gonna get 3 Delas and 3 belladonnas. im gonna run kc-33 or ledo uno,and Ghs Tw,lemon skunk and super lemon haze and thats my list for 2016 as of now subject to change several hundred times LOL i will be buying some Converse Sc and BT spray though along with some SLuggo bait for the snails and Cats. they are not getting their fkn teeth into my Delas next year thats a 100% fact. i wont stop spraying my plants when flower hits like i did this year

Nice! You won $50 in seeds at bingo? Sweet! Sounds good, do a few longer flowering strains, so if the rain comes again, they won't be as thick and as prone to mold. Our frost doesn't come until late october. Got to keep improving. So you'll have the entire range of flowering periods from autoflowers to Kali mist! Something has to take.... Yeah I have doubts whether my season would have done as well harvesting the crop mid october... Would have taken a huge loss to mold. Unless you live there and can inspect daily, you better cut that shit down when it gets that wet... Have to listen to nature like the indians do... Wearing my cherokee indian horse riders Great Smokey Mountains shirt today. :smoke:

lol i agree bro gotta listen to nature bc if we dont then we will get eat alive. thats what im trying to do find the early finishers for my area,the true end of sept finishers and a late finisher like kali. im gonna run the kali,super lemon haze,blue cheese,bangi haze and cheese candy in organic soil next year for the ole headstash strains. when is the best time to plant autos? i have 3 that i got with my orders this year. 2 of them are from mephisto genetics the fatsoma express and SODK and i got 1 pandora from paradise. i wont know how to act if they actaully do good and i get a ounce or 2 off each one that will be fully ripe with no mold. i was thinking i should plant them around 15th-20th of may that way they got some the longest days under the sun but since ive never did them before im not 100% sure on what i should do

I started some autos mid april and some June 1st. The june 1st ones did much better I think cus it was much warmer. Another thing I noticed is since autos are so short they are super close to the ground which makes them susceptible too pests and fungus. One thing that was unreal is that aphids attacked all my autos in late flower. That has never happened to my photo strains.

They all took about 90 days even though they were 60 dayers. One bud actually got bud rot in august when it was super hot out because it was so close to the wet ground from watering. The buds didnt get very dense on the autos outdoor. Kinda airy but still frosty. I think its cus they want 24hrs of light. Autos are a trip. I like em :)

I've ran a couple slh outside. The very long flowering, hairy, individual golf ball buds all over plant pheno is amazing. Even if it's early harvested. The more common enormous bud, skunk looking earlier finisher is an absolute mold magnet. Not as potent even if allowed to fully ripen as well. If love to see a few more budshots of your dela if you've got time.

cool good info bigdank. i will try the 3 freebies next year and see whats up with it. im not gonna worry about insects and cats next year i will be using some triple action things. converseSc,pyrethrin,Thurcide and karanja oil/neem. im not gonna stop either first week of flower like i did this year and the damn Cats/snails at my shit up. going to war with them next year i will even mix some actinovate and sernade in that as well starting at week 1-6 flower for added mold protection.

i love the SLH will be doing it next year in living soil. i can only imagine how much more lemony it will be like that. the other times i have ran it i used water soluble ferts and it was still very lemony. i''ll post of some dry bud shots if u want to see those bc i dont have any more Delas out growing this year.

Man, you have it bad down yonder. I don't seem to have half the intensity of problems you do. I had a few cats, but wasn't widespread dispersal, just a handful. With a forested region, the humidity stays higher... Different environment for sure...

How are you liking your harvest. Do you think you picked too early? Potency and flavor seems pretty good on ours. Since they've had a few days to dry and mellow out, its some fantastic smoke... :smoke:

Man this nice weather is messing with me. Wish my girls were out ripening in it... :smoke:

lol ya bro its bad down here sometimes. this is the first year though i have ever seen Cats or snails on my shit. its just like they magically appear out of no where. i have just going a few miles down the or up the road and it can be a totally different enviroment. for example some spots this year didnt get no damage at all to bugs or mold and others a couple miles away was eat up with them. im gonna be trying kc-33,ledo uno,pineapple chunk and blue widow on the advice from a few KY growers that i spoke to. they said they had awesome results year after year with no bug issues,or mold. i know bro i wish like hell i still had a couple out myself. its beautiful isnt it? perfect ripening weather and bud swellage! its a damn shame we had that 1 week of nothing but rain and overcast..really makes me sick:cry: in a way im glad my dad still got his CJ still out so i can see how well it does. so far it hasnt had mold,bug or snail problems and we transplanted it while it was in flower to. the leaves always stayed green and pointing up after we dug it up to. seems like a soild strain so far. im going with him today to check on so i will grab some pics. only thing i been smoking on so far is the blueberry headband and jacky white. both these strains are keepers in my book! im glad i didnt plant all 3 of the Bbhb last year lol now i dont have to buy any of those,but i am interested in HSO Bbhb. i will be doing all my headstash strains in organic soil. i can confirm what everone has always said about the taste,flavor and smoothness of organic weed. i did find though that organics i do get a smaller yeild and my girls took longer to transition from veg to flower,but i dont mind though since this wont be sold. i will keep my commerical stuff on veg+bloom and golden tree or An bloom boosters

ya the delahaze says nov to but it finish the first week of oct. i can make it till around the 25th of oct without a frost anytime after that would be risky. sometimes it dont frost till around thanksgiving then others ive seen frost mid oct. u just never know here! i wont be putting out a shit load of Kali only 2 just to test out. the serious 6 i will do as Simon told me to do. dont pop the beans till may 1 and plant them out june 1. since i popped the beans this year around april 1 that was to soon he said. i figure they will finish fast which is why i want to try it again lol they sent me 6 S6 and 6 kali mist so i'll do 2 of each to test out again if it fails then oh well it wont be my insurance strain. instead of 5 deals im gonna get a 10 pack next year. thats a gueranteed mold free harvest for me

Hello Kyg :tiphat:

Problems around S6 rememberd me of First Sativa, also a early flowering outdoor strain. She was very sensitive, she startet flowering right after summer solstice, males even earlier, but in 2013 in May was a for a week cloudy and rainy, that was enough to trigger the flowering :( then they reveg and shortly after, startet to flower again, that fucked them pretty badly :(
Probably gonna try S6 next year I would like one good fast strain that is mold resistant.

I'm at 46N, you are at 37,5. When is usualy start of flowering for most commercial strains like skunk #1, white widow,... at your latitude? at my is ~20.avgust...

When you're picking your new spots be sure to look for south sun exposure obviously, but morning light will help shorten dew period by drying the plants off earlier in the day. Easier said than done in hilly areas though.

October may be dry, but cooler temperature means longer drying period. To have a good guerilla crop without mold, some years you just about have to live there... :smoke:

Looking forward to the strain lineup for next year. I'll keep my eyes out for any other good outdoor strains this winter as I cruise the forums.

What about Cinderella 99? I remember the powerhouse was a really good plant C99 x deep chunk. Grew that for a couple years and was very tastey. Was known for good vigor and yields. :smoke:

hey pipe how u liking this weather? im really surprised my dads CJ is doing as well as it has. the snails or cats have never even chewed on it. i spoke with Dinafem on another fourm about their blue cheese and moby dick and as i was talking to the guy he asked if i would be interested in a couple packs of seeds to do a journal since i kept mine updated and he hooked me up with a 5 pack of their BC and 5 of the Moby!! pretty damn cool for them to do that..i got some seeds of FMS C99 but just havent got around to doing them yet. i also have their Pure-Ak and Bubblegummer. been thinking about the Bubblergummer in organic soil but damn just so many strains i want to try out and can only fit in so many..:confused:

I know it, been just perfect lately. It will be dropping off getting cold again tomorrow. Thats the frustrating thing, when you prune out all the mold there are usually a few spores. That want to keep going. The faster you can dry, the less mold will spread. Its great for slowing the drying process and producing a good cure though. I think we could have made it here, but there would have been substantial mold looses. I cut out a lot between flowering and harvest....

Thats awesome they gave ya extra for doing a journal. Good journalists are hard to come by I guess. You're always brainstorming something up, helps bring things to light...

I've planted 2 or 3 of a kind in a hole before. Thats a good way to do it. Fit in a few more phenotypes. But if they're feminized, that could get crowded in some sunnier plots... :smoke:

Might just have to put 3 different varieties in each hole....or each patch.
lol i may just have to

ya bro i know i cut out a pretty good lot as well. i just wish we would have got this weather here the last week of sept then i wouldnt have no mold loss..damn snails and Cats! both these little bastards wont get a chance to even chew my ladies next year. i will be mixing karanja oil,ConverseSc which is 11.6% spinosad and BT spray and gonna encircle my plots with plenty of slug bait along with some copper tape around the stalk. im always trying to think of things bc when i do and post it usally someone comes along and offers some advice and helps me advance the ball down the field so to speak. how much of the epsoma do u use per hole? at my organic plot im just gonna add some Ewc, coast of main kelp,fish,and lobster compost and gonna buy a bag of their stonington blend which is their living soil in a bag to re-amend the holes with to my living soil mix i had. from what i was told that living soil i used this year will only get better each year. i will also have a bag of bat guano(mexican) for veg and indonesian for flower and that should be enuff to re-amend the soil wont it?

Don't forget that lime keeps slugs and snails away and if u find out ur native soil is less than 6.5ph then it will be a good offensive weapon to add lime :)

im gonna be adding sluggo which is iron phosphate. im gonna be adding in lime and oyster shell flour as i have both on hand right now. i will be replacing the soil with happy frog/ocean forest mix in my new locations that i gotta find for next year and hopefully they will serve me for many years to come. i still have some basalt rock dust that will be going in the holes as well along with azomite or glacial rock dust. i will be doing 4 plants organic this year for my headstash. im also gonna try out coast of maines stonington blend. i got alot of stuff to buy lol gonna re-up my advanced nutrients supply bc i really like what they did to my flowers this year. the slugs and snails are going down next year along with those fkn CATs. ConverseSc and dipel will stop them!

Yeah, also here would skunk fly off the shelfs immediately :) I would love to grow a skunk strain, but skunk #1 and most of the skunk strains have bad mold resistance :( I've heard that Sweet Cheese is real outdoor skunk, I will try to get more info...
Don't know about Cheese Candy but Sugar Black Rose from Delicious Seeds is fantastic plant, grows very fast, has sweet smell, lot of rock hard buds that have very good mold resistance, grew it last 2 years (cut it on saturday), gonna grow it next year :)
Probably gonna try also Smooth Smoke (Pakistan Citral Kush x Nepali) last year I grew PCK and it is very hardy plant, pest and mould resistant... Smooth Smoke should be faster, better producer and I hope with same resistance.
Where I live we don't get visits from huriccanes, but weather can be crazy, in 2013 drought for month in July and Avgust and temperatures more than 35C, in 2014 biblical flood in avgust and september 2/3 of my plants died, 2015 again drough and scorching sun... interesting thing is that there is always morning dew, even if doesn't rain for a month and scorching sun :)
